    Warnings in Chinese

    Since I downloaded the new app firmware 1.1.5 all the verbal warnings are given in Chinese. How do you change it back to English? Thank you.

    Hand-made Yagi Uda adapter antenna

    I mounted the Yagis with the gold signal reflector and received a significant improvement in distance and video reception.

    Just discovered....

    The Mavic Mini camera has a fixed focus lens. It's always in focus. The f stop can change the depth of field.

    Mavic Mini Controller

    Turn on both the mini and controller. Press the power button on the controller for about 5 seconds until it beeps. Press the power button on the mini for about the same amount of time and the two will pair.

    PGYTECH sun hood. Okay to leave on permanently?

    I tried it but found that the wind effected it adversely. Caused the Mini to make short dives occasionally.

    Wouldn't this set-up be correct?

    What are the proper Yagi-Uda dimensions?

    Spacing is closer to 8mm. Elements are 15mm long.

    What are the proper Yagi-Uda dimensions?

    Spacing between the elements appears to be 7 mm. From mid-element to mid-element 9.5 mm.

    What are the proper Yagi-Uda dimensions?

    Just received my 5.8 ghz Yagi antenna from Slovenia and it definitely increased range and aids in video transmission. Better than the foiled reflectors. I live in a rural area with little interference so can't comment on urban improvement.

    Increasing the range of Mini with a 4 USD reflector

    Not sure I understand. You say that the signal is stronger when the nose is pointed towards the remote control. Your stats don't confirm that.
